Philadelphia, PA, July 22, 2026 —
The House of Representatives has passed a $95 billion budget proposal, put forth solely by Republicans, allocating funds for initiatives supported by President Trump, including the “Iran war.” The measure secured passage by a narrow margin of 216-214 votes.
The budget’s adoption encountered opposition from both Democrats and a segment of Republicans. Key concerns voiced by detractors centered on the absence of corresponding budget cuts to offset the allocated expenditures. Details regarding specific allocations within the $95 billion beyond the “Iran war” were not provided in the summary.
In a related development, the Trump administration has announced its intention to submit a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia for congressional review. This agreement, if approved, would permit Saudi Arabia to pursue uranium enrichment capabilities for its civilian nuclear program. The specifics of the agreement and the timeline for its submission to Congress were not detailed.
The budget proposal’s passage highlights a division within Congress regarding fiscal priorities and the approach to funding national initiatives. The close vote indicates a contentious environment surrounding the budget and its implications.
